SINGAPORE – The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) is on the hunt for its fourth national head coach in six years after Tsutomu Ogura’s decision to step down.In a media statement on June 24, the FAS said that Ogura, who was appointed in February 2024 on a two-year contract, has decided to step down as head coach of the Singapore national team with immediate effect, due to personal reasons.In the interim, the FAS has appointed former BG Tampines Rovers coach Gavin Lee to lead the Lions while the search for a new permanent head coach is actively underway.The FAS said that Ogura informed the FAS of his decision several weeks ago, citing the need to return to his home country to attend to pressing personal matters.“Since then, the FAS executive committee has been in close consultation with Mr Ogura to explore various avenues to facilitate his continued tenure.
